Man storms into neighbour's house and stabs five children to death after 'becoming irritated by the noise'

A man walked into his neighbour's house and stabbed five children to death with a 19-inch kitchen knife because he was annoyed by the noise, police said. A heavily pregnant woman - who was looking after the children - survived but sustained severe stab wounds to her face during the attack in northern Thailand.

He grabbed a huge chopping knife and hacked the children to death. All five of the victims were under the age of eight. When the woman confronted the knife-wielding man, he then proceeded to attack her. She remains in intensive care, according to local media.

Resign before it is too late; NLC,TUC tells Saraki

Members of the Nigerian Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress, have asked the President of the Senate, Senator Bukola Saraki, to resign from his position as the senate president pending the outcome of his case at the Code of Conduct Tribunal. They said that even though Saraki is still on trial and has not been found guilty of the allegations against him, it is morally right for him to resign his job. President of the TUC, Mr. Bobboi Bala, in an interview with Sunday Punch on Saturday, said Saraki has a moral burden to resign. He said, “Resignation is a moral burden on people. But if somebody feels that he will carry his cross, go to the courts and try to exonerate himself, he should be given the opportunity. But it would be too bad if at the end of the day, he is found guilty. It does not speak well of public office holders. “In other countries, as soon as such things happen, people tender their letters of resignation. Obviously, it is a moral burden on him. We hope all politicians will begin to know that no matter how highly placed they are, one day, they will definitely have to account for their stewardship.” Several chapters of the NLC and the TUC across the states also asked for Saraki’s resignation on Saturday. He said: “As it were, the Senate President is sitting on a delicate seat. If it were a civilised society, he would have stepped aside to allow for a fair trial, so that he won’t allow his official position to influence the decision of the tribunal.” Also, the Ekiti State Chairman of the NLC, Mr. Raymond Adesanmi, advised Saraki to step down from office. He said, “If it were in other climes, he would have resigned. My advice for him would be to step down as the Senate President to answer the charges against him. If at the end of the day he is not found guilty, he could return to his position.” Second Republic Governor of old Kaduna State and Chairman of the Conference of Nigerian Political Parties, Mr. Balarabe Musa, on Saturday, also urged Saraki to step down as Senate President as a show of respect for his office. Musa said, “First of all, it depends on his conscience. If he knows that the allegations against him have anything bordering on genuineness and if he knows that he has not done anything above board, he should succumb to his conscience. “In honour of the institution he represents, it is therefore best for him to resign in order not to undermine the position of the judge. “If he knows that there are elements of truth in the allegations against him, he should not cost the government so much in court and thereby undermine the integrity of the bench; he should just resign. He is still young; he still has a lot of opportunities.”

Chris Brown have been denied visa to tour Australia....See reason why

Australia has issued a notice to US singer Chris Brown saying it intends to refuse him a visa to enter the country, a government spokesman has said. Brown, 26, had been due to perform at a series of concerts in four Australian cities in December, but concerns have been raised over the singer's history of domestic violence. Australia's Minister for Women, Michaelia Cash, urged the Immigration Minister Peter Dutton to refuse Brown entry. In a statement, a spokesman for the immigration department said: "People to whom these notices are issued have 28 days to present material as to why they should be given a visa to enter Australia." In 2009, Brown pleaded guilty to a charge of assaulting his then girlfriend, singer Rihanna, and was sentenced in the United States to five years probation, which was lifted in February. He has been denied entry by Britain and Canada since his conviction with New Zealand also saying Brown is ineligible for entry.

US donates $300m to fight HIV&AIDS

The US has allocated an additional $300 million for the efforts of fighting HIV infection among girls and young women in 10 sub-Saharan countries.

Michael B Jordan Sends A Letter Of APOLOGY . . . To Black People . . . He’s SORRY For Not Supporting Black Lives Matter . . . And SORRY For Not Dating Black Women!!!

: Actor Michael B Jordan has been UNDER FIRE from Black women - FIRST because he's said that he PREFERS to date White women in an interview. And when asked whether he supported the Black Lives Matter movement - he said All Lives Matter. So Michael did some SOUL SEARCHING, and then wrote this letter of APOLOGY to Black women. He sent it to Essence Here is his letter: "I have been a professional actor for most of my life, but being regarded as a leading man is new to me and has taken some getting used to. Recently I had the opportunity to be featured on the cover of one of my favorite magazines. In the interview, several points that I shared were communicated in ways that do not reflect my true feelings and opinions. In addition, there were reports written about me elsewhere that simply aren't true. I’d like to set the record straight. First and foremost, I believe that Black Lives Matter - unequivocally and without exception. I have never said, written, snapchatted, tweeted, Instagrammed or implied anything to the contrary. Any report that states otherwise is a complete fabrication. I portrayed Oscar Grant in my first leading role in a feature film, Fruitvale Station. I am a founding member of the Blackout for Human Rights Network. I gave a speech just a few months ago on the importance of the Black Lives Matter Movement at the BET Awards. It is frustrating to see a false claim stirred up on social media which has caused my supporters to question where I stand on this crucial issue. But I am confident that my history and continued engagement with my community will speak louder than unfounded rumors. Secondly, it is challenging to have a nuanced conversation about race and Hollywood period. This sensitive subject becomes even more complicated when you’re dealing with soundbites and articles. A simple idea or opinion can be abbreviated and distorted as it is communicated to readers out of context. Allow me to be clear about my ideas on roles traditionally reserved for White actors. My goal is for my choices and opportunities, as well as those of my fellow actors and actresses of color, to be predicated on our talent, ability and passion and not on false notions of what color an artist must be to play certain roles. I've had the honor to portray Black characters written and directed by Black filmmakers—a privilege that too few actors of color enjoy because of the challenges of Black artistry and access behind the camera. But in addition to those wonderful roles, I also want to have the option to play all kinds of parts with no door closed to actors and actresses like myself. Lastly, my fans who are women mean the world to me. This is especially true of Black women, who as a group have supported my work long before the industry knew my name. I deeply regret and am ashamed that I said anything to disappoint or disparage them. I apologize with my whole heart for referring to women in the way that I did. The word 'female' used in the manner that I did is dismissive and strips women of their humanity. It is a slang term that guys sometimes use to sound slick and cool coming up. But words have power and I realize now more than ever that this careless language is dehumanizing, inappropriate, and immature. I'm a better man than that. This reference to women will not come out of my mouth publicly or in private again. In all, although some of what I said was taken out of context, I take full responsibility for the interview and I apologize for the hurt and confusion it has caused. This has been an important lesson for me. I humbly ask my fans to grow with me, as I learn more about myself and this industry. Thank you.

GPEI Global Polio Eradication Institute removes nigeria from list of Polio epidemic countries

The World Health Organization has removed Nigeria from its list of Polio endemic countries in what has been regarded as a ‘milestone’ in the quest to eradicate the disease. WHO made the announcement at a meeting of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) in New York. This comes after Nigeria went more than a year without a case of wild-naturally occurring polio. Before a country is declared polio free, it has to go three years without any cases of the disease. This decision now means that only two countries, Pakistan and Afghanistan, remain polio endemic in the world. Polio is spread by poor sanitation and contaminated water, and usually affects children. The virus attacks the nervous system and can cause irreversible paralysis, usually of the legs, within hours.

Switzerland Bans Volkswagon Cars Sales Over Emissions

Switzerland has banned the sale of Volkswagen cars caught up in the emissions scandal. The government's ruling affects diesel models containing "defeat devices" – software able to change the engine's performance and run cleaner during official testing. As well as VW models which fall under the "euro 5" emissions category, other brands in the company's group, such as Seat and Skoda, are affected. However, the ban has been restricted to vehicles which are yet to be sold or registered, meaning Swiss motorists who currently own an affected car will not need to take action. New VW cars with "euro 6" engines are also immune from the ban, as they contain an updated emissions system.

Nigerian Army accuses Borno leaders of plotting to prolong Boko Haram insurgency |

Nigerian Army accuses Borno leaders of plotting to prolong Boko Haram insurgency | #PREMIUMTIMES The Nigerian Army on Friday raised alarm over plans by “some highly-placed individuals” in the North East, particularly Borno State, to sabotage military operations in the region. A statement by the army spokesman, Sani Usman, said the elite were bent on having the activities of the Boko Haram terrorists prolonged for their selfish interests. Mr. Usman, a colonel, did not however state in clear terms the means through which the notable individuals were undermining the war against terrorism or how they would benefit from the insurgency when prolonged. “The Nigerian Army wishes to inform the public and send a very strong and serious final warning to some prominent individuals and political groups who hailed from Borno State in particular and North East generally, that there is information of plans by some highly placed individuals and political groups to undermine and scuttle the fight against terrorism and insurgency in this country. “The unscrupulous individuals and their cohorts were determined to reverse the gains made and scuttle our efforts of achieving the Presidential directive to defeat Boko Haram terrorists within 3 months. They are enlisting the services of some Non-Governmental Organizations in this grand design. “It has come to our knowledge that they were employing every means to see that the operation does not succeed in order for them to continue to enjoy certain benefits. “It has been revealed that they are employing the services of marabouts and other unethical means in order to frustrate our efforts and the operations in addition to campaign of calumny. “We are aware of their clandestine meetings and other diabolical efforts to achieve their nefarious aims. This would not be tolerated. “Therefore, such individuals and groups should be warned in unmistakable terms that anyone found would be dealt with accordingly. “People should place the interest of the nation above any personal gain or ambition. The continued lost of lives and property in this country through terrorists activities does not one any good,” the army spokesman said.

Pope Francis asserts 'right of the environment' in speech to UN

Pope Francisasserted that the environment – as well as humanity – has rights, in a dramatic rethinking of the relationship between people and the Earth at the United Nations on Friday. Pope Francis in New York: pontiff addresses UN and visits 9/11 memorial – live updates Francis told the UN general assembly that the environment should enjoy the same rights and protections as humanity. “It must be stated that a true ‘right of the environment’ does exist,” Francis said. The declaration gives nature far greater primacy in Catholic church thinking than before, deepening the traditional responsibility of humans to serve as stewards of the environment. The justification, the pope said, was clear: humanity and nature were so interconnected that threats to the environment inevitably rebounded, diminishing the rights and living conditions of the most vulnerable in society. “Any harm done to the environment, therefore is harm done to humanity,” the pope concluded. It was the first time Francis had explicitly said that the environment had a “right” that equated it to humanity. In his 180-page encyclical on the environment, released in July, which laid out his thinking on the environment and humanity’s duty to it, Francis talked about the rights of individuals, the poor, and of future generations, but not of the Earth itself. The pope’s address, on the second leg of his visit to the US, was delivered as the United Nationsprepares to adopt 17 sustainable development goals. Those goals, while not explicitly rooted in environmental protection – were intended to promote less harmful forms of economic development. “The misuse and destruction of the environment are also accompanied by a relentless process of exclusion,” Francis told the UN. “A selfish and boundless thirst for power and material prosperity leads both to the misuse of available natural resources and to the exclusion of the weak and disadvantaged, either because they are differently abled (handicapped), or because they lack adequate information and technical expertise, or are incapable of decisive political action,” he said. The pope’s encyclical on the environment called on the world’s rich nations to begin paying their “grave social debt” to the poor and take concrete steps on climate change. As the encyclical made evident, the pope believes that the unrestrained capitalism of the current economic order is trampling upon the rights of the poor and the week, and destroying the environment. Unrestrained capitalism encouraged what he called a “culture of waste” in which the poorest and weakest were seen as disposable. But Francis went even further in his speech to the UN on Friday by expanding the notion of protection from humanity to nature. Such a change in thinking – backed up by action – was crucial to protect the rights of humanity and nature, the pope told world leaders. Sacrifice the environment, and wrongs against the weak and the poor were bound to follow, he said. “Economic and social exclusion is a complete denial of human fraternity and a grave offense against human rights and the environment,” he said. Francis returned to the theme with a warning that the large-scale destruction of biodiversity could “threaten the very existence of the human species”. Francis was careful to quote his predecessor, Pope Benedict, saying: “Man does not create himself. He is spirit and will, but also nature.” But in his choice of phrasing, the pope may have opened up a theological debate over whether his views represent a break from his predecessors, or whether they were consistent with previous strong statements about the need to protect the environment. Some experts believe that Francis’s encyclical already went far beyond Benedict’s view of the environment, which he saw – according to Professor Clive Hamilton – “as essential to God’s plan for humanity”. When Benedict spoke of the need to protect the environment, it was because the effects of its degradation were so damaging to humanity, and that exploitation of the Earth could inspire people to exploit one another. Francis, in contrast appears to be saying that the environment is more than a necessary tool for survival. It is, in fact, one with humanity, and therefore in possession of a right. At the conclusion of his 40-minute speech, he said: “This common home of all men and women must also be built on the understanding of a certain sacredness of created nature.”

Blatter under fresh fire of corruption

"From corruption investigations in the United States and Switzerland to the sudden suspension of his right-hand man, FIFA chief Sepp Blatter can expect a barrage of questions when he faces the media today. Blatter’s press conference, his first appearance since the removal of FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke, will follow a two-day executive committee meeting where the seemingly-endless scandals at world football’s sleaze-tainted governing body are on the agenda. Since the executive committee last met, much of the news surrounding FIFA has been less than positive. On Wednesday, the Swiss justice ministry approved the extradition to the US of Rafael Esquivel, a Venezuelan ex-FIFA official who was among those arrested in a dawn raid in Zurich in May. Switzerland has also approved the transfer to US jurisdiction of former FIFA vice-president Eugenio Figueredo, an Uruguayan, with extradition decisions on four other suspects due in the coming days. Last week also saw Valcke’s sacking on allegations that he participated in a massive black market ticket-selling scheme surrounding the 2014 World Cup. Valcke fiercely denies the allegations and has vowed to fight them. Three days before Valcke was dismissed, US Attorney General Loretta Lynch said her sweeping investigation into decades of graft at FIFA was expanding and was likely to lead to more people being charged. It was Lynch who uncorked the crisis at FIFA in May, when her office unsealed indictments against 14 people – nine football officials and five sports marketing executives – accused of involvement in a bribery scandal worth more than $150 million since 1991. Speaking next to Lynch in Zurich last week, Swiss Attorney General Michael Lauber said his separate probe into the bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups had led to assets being seized, including flats in the Swiss Alps. Lauber has not given any indication as to who may be charged in the Swiss inquiry, but FIFA officials have conceded that if there is clear evidence that bribes were paid during the bidding, both Russia and Qatar could lose hosting rights for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, respectively. Lauber made clear that his investigation had “not yet reached half-time.” Blatter’s press conference at FIFA’s headquarters in Zurich is set for 14:00 SA time on Friday, following the executive committee meeting which opens on Thursday afternoon.

Burkina Faso president says back in charge

OUAGADOUGOU – Burkina Faso’s President, Michel Kafando, said on Wednesday he was back in charge and would resume overseeing a transition to democracy, as a coup last week by soldiers in his personal guard who briefly took him hostage appeared to have ended. Kafando addressed his supporters and West African leaders who flew to the capital of the West African state to negotiate an end to the putsch in which troops under General Gilbert Diendere briefly took power. Diendere greeted the heads of state from Nigeria, Ghana, Benin and Niger at the airport earlier in the day, giving the impression he was still in charge, but he did not attend the ceremony at a conference centre at which Kafando spoke. National elections due on Oct. 11 are meant to mark a return to democracy a year after demonstrators toppled President Blaise Compaore as he attempted to extend his 27-year rule. Kafando’s task was to guide the country to that vote in a process seen as a beacon for democratic hopes in Africa at a time when veteran leaders from Rwanda to Congo Republic appear to be manoeuvring to scrap term limits to extend their rule. “If ever there was a transition to be held up as an example, it is indeed ours,” Kafando said, after supporters chanted “Presi, Presi, Presi”. “I can assure you that we are determined to carry on with the mission the Burkinabe people have entrusted us with, to build strong institutions and a real democracy,” he said, thanking the international community for condemning the coup. The presence of the foreign leaders signalled international concern for Burkina Faso, an ally of the United States and France in their battle against Islamist militants linked to al Qaeda in the Sahel region. Kafando was accompanied by Prime Minister Yacouba Isaac Zida, who was held for days after soldiers stormed a cabinet meeting last Wednesday. Burkina Faso

How to approach a lady no cheesy steps

Every woman — and I meanevery woman — has been privy to the horrible approach and the terrible hit-on; either men pretending to be something they’re not because they think it’s what women want, or men who are just trying way too hard. It’s a rough dating jungle out there, and while men seem to be taking a backseat, women seem to be taking the reigns and are going after the men they are interested in. They are turning the tables on men and approaching them, because more and more guys aren’t putting the effort in to approach women. It’s time to take back that gentlemanly honor of seeing a beautiful woman and knowing that you have to talk to her. When you see a beautiful girl, don’t sit back and wait for the universe to magically bring you two together to start a conversation. Seize the day and put yourself out there! Throw caution to the wind and if you see someone you like, give it your best shot and go for it. Going after someone you like, even with the chance of being rejected, is also a great life lesson to apply to other areas of your life. You gotta be in it to win it. When going for the approach, the best thing you can do is to walk with confidence. Women love a man who is confident and comfortable with who they are. The rest will take care of itself. Here are four suave ways to approach a cute girl. Just say “Hi” This sounds like the most obvious and almost dumb thing to even suggest, because it’s the logical thing to do, but men don’t always do this. This is a pre-opener sort of thing, and it breaks the ice a little. Whether she’s hanging out in a group with other women or standing in line at Starbucks, she will know that you are speaking to her and not approaching her with a question mid-sentence.Tweet SHARING IS CARING SHARE THIS POST

Eto’o Wins 2015 Golden Foot Award

Former Cameroon international striker Samuel Eto’o is the 2015 Golden Foot winner.

No need to sell a kidney! Sperm banks offers College graduates money to buy IPhone 6 in exchange for sperm

Many Chinese have joked about selling their
kidneys for Apple products but it seems there is a
better and less riskier alternative. A sperm bank in
Shanghai, China is inviting qualified college
graduates over 5’5 tall and free of disease to
donate sperm in exchange for money to buy an
iPhone 6S.
"No need to sell a kidney…Shanghai sperm bank
can make your iPhone 6S dream come true," the
ad reads."
The sperm bank ad, which is offering to pay $942
for 17 milliliters of semen, has generated massive
social media conversation. Sperm banks are
hoping the pitch, which comes ahead of the
release of the iPhone 6S on 25 September, will
help fix a shortage in donors.
The Shanghai Sperm Bank is promising 6,000
yuan for 17 millilitres of semen for those who
qualify to donate. Donors needs to be university
educated, disease-free and over 5 foot 5.
"This is going to make me really suspicious of
anyone with an iPhone 6S" said one user on
Weibo, China’s Twitter.
According to a spokesperson with the Shanghai
Sperm Bank, the campaign has worked well so
far, raising awareness and attracting potential
donors, the state news agency Xinhua reported.
A poll conducted on Sina Weibo shows that
Chinese social media users are split on the
appropriateness of the campaign with close to
20% calling it unseemly and another 27% saying
they will donate immediately. "I need the address
to Hubei Sperm Bank now please" said one user.

Moon to turn Blood red before end of year....see interesting photos

Moon set to turn red in giant 'supermoon' lunar eclipse.Credit: PA Stargazers will be able to watch a once in 30 years phenomenon when a giant 'supermoon' turns red when

it combines with a lunar eclipse. The eclipse will start just after 1am on Monday morning, about 8pm in America (EDT). Scientists say the moon will swell by more than 14% and turn red as it falls under the shadow of the Earth. The last 'supermoon' lunar eclipse was in 1982. The so-called 'blood moon' is expected to last an hour an 11 minutes and will be visible in Europe, North and South America, Africa, parts of West Asia and the eastern Pacific. Weather permitting, the supermoon should be visible 1am, with the total eclipse starting at 3.11am. EDT, peaking at 3.47am.

A 'supermoon' happens when it comes closer to the earth called 'perigree'.Credit: Nasa Nasa scientists said that during a lunar eclipse, the moon appears less bright as sunlight is blocked by the Earth’s shadow. The moon does not make its own light, but reflects the light it receives from the sun. but as totality draws to its conclusion, sunlight reaches the moon indirectly and is refracted around the “edges” of Earth, through Ea

rth’s atmosphere. The moon will turn red as it falls into shadow.Credit: Nasa This means almost all colours except red are “filtered” out, and the eclipsed moon appears reddish or dark brown. The filtering is caused by particles in the earth's atmosphere, so if there have been a lot of fires or volcanic eruptions, lunar eclipses appear darker and redder. The eerie, but nonetheless harmless effect, has is nicknamed a “blood moon”. A Nasa satellite will watch it unfold.Credit: Nasa US space agency Nasa plans to stream the eclipse live from Marshall Space Flight Centre in Huntsville, Alabama. The Nasa live feedwill also broadcast views of the eclipse from the Griffith Observatory, the Adler Planetarium in Chicago, Fernbank Observatory in Atlanta and other locations across the US. Nasa's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) will wait as Earth blocks out the sun and the moon goes dark.

CBN Warns That Nigerian Economy Could Slip Into Recession In 2016

Nigeria’s apex bank, the Central Bank of Nigeria has warned that the country’s economy could slip into recession in 2016. The monetary policy committee warned that the Federal Government must take proactive steps to prevent such recession from coming to pass.

The CBN Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele while addressing journalists shortly after the two-day meeting of the committee held at the CBN headquarters in Abuja noted that the country’s economy has remained weak due to factors such as the slow growth of the country’s Gross Domestic Product in the second quarter of the year. Emefiele also revealed that the committee noticed that the impact of non-payment of salaries at the state and local government levels led reduction in consumer demand. The governor of the apex bank expressed concern that liquidity withdrawals following the implementation of the Treasury Single Account and the elongation of the tenure of state governments and Oil/gas sector loans could worsen worsen the liquidity conditions of banks and affect economic growth unless actions are taken to stem the tide. “The committee noted that the overall macroeconomic environment remained fragile. “The committee noted that liquidity withdrawals following the implementation of the TSA, elongation of the tenure of state government loans as well as loans to the oil and gas sectors could aggravate liquidity conditions in banks and impair their financial intermediation role, thus affecting economic growth, unless some actions were immediately taken to ease liquidity conditions in the markets. “Having seen two consecutive quarters of slow growth, the committee recognized that the economy could slip into recession in 2016 if proactive steps were not taken to revive growth in key sectors of the economy,” he explained.

The suspect, identified as Abdullahi Adamu, was apprehended during a raid carried out by operatives of the security outfit comprising the Army and the State Security Service (SSS).According to The Nation, the raid, which took place at the Ijora 7-Up area of Lagos, came after a tip-off on the activities of a terror network allegedly co-ordinated by Iranians. The suspects was arrested after soldiers ransacked one of the buildings in the area. Adamu was said to have concealed some devices suspected to be explosives in boxes, which were stacked in the ceiling of the house. Also recovered alongside the suspected explosives were two AK47 rifles. Commenting on the arrest, the paramount ruler of Ijora community, Oba Fatai Ojora said "We have been calling on the state government to do something about this. This is the second time we will arrest Boko Haram suspects in this community and nothing has been done on that. The one we caught now had even admitted that he is a terrorist. You know that majority of the northerners in Lagos live in Ijora, Agege and Badia.’’he said Another member of the community who spoke on condition of anonymity said “People came to me that they saw one man on the internet and that he is a member of Boko Haram, saying they know where he lives. They said they are going to his house and identify him. They arrested him and handed him to Oba of Ojora,” he said.

Forbes list.....Diddy tops Jay Z on new Forbes list of richest rappers

Sean “Diddy” Combs is #1 on Forbes’ list of the world’s highest paid stars in hip hop, pushing off Jay Z and Drake on the 2015 “Hip Hop Cash Kings” tally, which was revealed on Tuesday. 45 year old Diddy made an estimated $60 million between June 2014 and June 2015, from investments outside of music, such as his TV network Revolt and Ciroc vodka. Runner up Jay Z, also 45, earned an estimated $56 million from business ventures in music, sports and lifestyle. His 22 shows with his wife, singer Beyonce, helped boost his earnings, Forbes said. Canadian rapper Drake, 28, came in at No. 3 with $39.5 million, the bulk of which came from touring, as well as high profile endorsements from Sprite and Nike and his Apple collabo. Dr. Dre has been doing for decades. Recently he’s spent more time making good money—$620 million last year, the highest annual payday of any musician ever, thanks to Apple’s $3 billion Beats buy—which is why it’s something of a surprise that he ranks No. 4 with $33 million, the result of smaller checks from Apple. He also exec-produced biopicStraight Outta Comptonand released his long-awaited third album, both of which will boost his total on next year’s list. #5Pharrell $32 M.

Nicki Minaj was the only woman to crack into the top ten of the highest paid hip hop acts, coming in at No. 9 with $21 million from touring and endorsements. Other hip hop moguls in the top ten include rappers Eminem who was # 6 and Kanye West.

Niger state residents roast Sani Bello for traveling to watch Chelsea - Arsenal match

Niger State Governor Abubakar Sani has come under criticism following his trip to London to watch Saturday’s Premier League game between Chelsea and Arsenal. Residents of the state on Monday described the governor’s visit to Stamford Bridge as “frivolous” considering the financial problems of the state. However, the governor explained on his Twitter page that he was at Stamford Bridge to watch the match at the instance of Chelsea midfielder Mikel Obi, who plans to set up a football academy in the state. “I was at Stamford Bridge to watch the derby between Chelsea and Arsenal at the invitation of John Obi Mikel,” he wrote. According to him, Mikel approached the state government to partner with the state in developing its sports, stressing that it will be wrong to turn down an investor who is willing to invest in the state. The Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Ibraheem Dooba, said Bello was in Europe and his visit to Stamford Bridge was part of his itinerary since he was to meet other international development partners, adding that he was invited by Mikel. But a trader, Moses Akwu said, “Things are hard for us in Niger while our governor is travelling to watch matches. I heard they said he was invited but is it not government resources that he used to go on the trip? “We did not vote him in to watch football, we voted him because we want him to work and bring back the lost glory of the state. Watching matches is not governance, it is absolute recklessness.” Another resident, Gambo Mohammed, said the governor needed to focus on governance. “Sports development is not what Niger State needs now. We need jobs for our unemployed youths, boost for our economy and agriculture, and good roads.” Bello had on August 31 warned sports officials not to use his name to organise sports competitions. He made this known when board members of the Nigeria Chess Federation and the state hockey team that won the National Super League visited him. The President of Nigeria Chess Federation Suleman Gora had requested to organise a national championship in his honour which he objected saying, “I am not a billboard.”

Buhari to visit USA next week

President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria will addresses the 70th United Nations General Assembly at the global body’s headquarters in New York on September 28. However, President Buhari is set to assist Burkina Faso on resolving their political crisis and host an Extraordinary Summit of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). The president is scheduled to reveal Nigeria’s final status report on the operation of the MDGs. There is also to be a side-event hosted by Nigeria on Health, HIV/AIDS and Strengthening the Implementation of the SDGs during the General Assembly. Hilary Ogbonna, acting regional coordinator for Africa, United Nations Millennium Campaign at the United Nations, confirmed that Nigerian leader is set to address the Assembly. He called attention to the major zones that Buhari could show commitments to in his address to the UN Assembly. Ogbonna said: “One of the major aspects that you need to know about the MDGs is that it focused on the three dimensions of sustainable development: the economic dimension, the social dimension and the environmental dimension. Nigeria should be a leading voice on climate change. “Nigeria does not emit much of fossils, of carbon dioxide. But Nigeria, like most parts of Africa, is feeling the pinch. Lake Chad is also disappearing. So, Nigeria needs to be a leading voice on that. Nigeria needs to speak very strongly on climate change and how it impacts on poor people in this country. Nigeria needs to also speak strongly about global partnerships. It needs to show that it is open for business. Nigeria needs partnership and investment, not aids, and so also does the rest of Africa. Those are some of the things we would want Buhari to say. “We will also want President Buhari to speak that his government is being reformed, that governance in Nigeria is being reformed. He should make commitments to come back home and pursue the fight against corruption effectively, because unless you have a corruption free society, you cannot be talking about achieving sustainable development.” He added: “Nigeria also needs to talk about the financing of the post- 2015 development agenda, financing, using local innovative means, especially in an environment that has this global oil crisis that we are facing now. This means that we need to develop other sources of revenue accruals. The President needs to speak on that. But beyond speaking on that, he needs to come home and implement that. Nobody can develop your country more than you. Whatever he says at the General Assembly, he needs to address them at home. “He also needs to address the fact the insurgency is robbing the Northern part of Nigeria human development, and until those insurgencies are taken care of, the North East may not actually speak of implementing the SDGs.” It will be the second trip to the United States since Buhari became Nigerian president. American President Barack Obama hosted Nigeria’s recently elected president at the White House on Monday, July 20, where the two discussed cooperation between the two countries.

Apple's first electric car to be shipped in 2019

A new report says Apple is speeding up work on a project that could lead to the California tech giant building its own electric car. The Wall Street Journal says Apple has set an internal timetable for a project, code-named Titan, that involves development of an electric vehicle. The newspaper said Apple has set a “ship date” of 2019, although that could just be a target for engineers to sign off on the design — not when a car would be available for sale. Apple declined comment today on the report, which cited unnamed sources. In recent months, Apple Inc. has hired experts in automotive and battery technology. Officials at an automotive testing facility located east of San Francisco have also confirmed that Apple requested information about using their site
